This program is badass!!! Thanks for showing me Wiggs now I'm gonna get nothing else done :thefinger:

 

Anyways you can download it here: http://sketchup.google.com/

 

I'm not going to go into too much detail about the program itself, but people have created cars, houses, buildings, EVERYTHING to import and you can create a to-scale 3D model. I haven't tried it yet, but I guess you can then export to Google Earth and place it on a map and see it in 3D with other buildings how it would look / if the land is big enough, etc...wow :shock:

 

 

I'm just getting the hang of it but here is something to what my future garage will look like:

And Wiggs:

While these might look boring...actually navigating around and using the camera view to 'walk' through is pretty cool!

I used this recently to accurately furnish my deck and determine the ideal sizes. I found the program control to be a bit awkward wrt translation. Might be because I'm using a laptop, but things just snapped and moved oddly.

Not up to getting into it tonight but maybe on my days off. I did 4 years of cad, so I love this type of stuff. Where do you get the models?

I knew when I saw this thread that this would take stupidly much of my time, and few hours and a few attempts later....

Very nice!! Ok ok I need to officially step up my game on mine now lol. I missed the SV?!

 

Side tip...you can go to FILE > EXPORT > 2D IMAGE and it will save as a JPG so you don't have to screenshot ;)

I'm an idiot. I don't know why I didn't think of IMPORTING a lift instead of making one!!! :lol2:

 

Yeah, I saw the SV on there but didn't know how to scale...until recently!! :)
